Raising better eaters
The American Academy of Pediatrics is petitioning the FCC and Congress to decrease the amount of commercials during kids TV programs. Presently the limit is 5 to 6 minutes an hour. They’re asking for a 50% reduction.
The kid docs are also requesting no Viagra commercials before 10pm.
Even pediatricians see a connection between food product commercials and the crappy food kids eat.
